Stopping the Port Adelaide ferals’ smugness

[Horaceg]

Come on, really? Another thread about us on an opposition board. We really hit a nerve with you lot haven't we?

Not really, sad you think that

 

[caloschwaby]

Who cares, game on

 

[jakson68]

Just our puffy nature. We are harmless.

Harmless, cashless, clueless, supporterless. And most of all have an identity complex.
I suppose Collingwood should be proud, as imitation is the best form of flattery.

...but we are still here, and heading to the MCG this Saturday. Most will be wearing the PB's, so you probably won't recognise them as you guys have trouble distinguishing the difference between the two guernseys. It's like camouflage

 

[Horaceg]

They even borrowed the teal off us

Not hard to distinguish. The port supporters will be the ones walking around the city at 9am taking photos of all the amazing tall buildings and the real river alongside it (unlike at home where they have a creek with a dam wall).. They will be also taking in Melbourne’s coffee culture drinking large lattes from McDonald’s.

Can’t believe how soft this new board is. Giving up seats, giving up colours…next they’ll handover the 15 premierships

I think it is only premierships in living memory.

 

[Coobk001]

They are wannabes, and always will be.
Why they cannot accept that they entered the AFL under agreement of name and colours still astounds me.
I still cannot concede them to wear our colours and stripes, ever.
They are Port Power, they wear teal. It’s in their contract that granted them the licence to compete in the national competition. A competition created by the 12 VFL clubs. A competition opposed by the SANFL until the new AFL forced their hand by courting Port Adelaide to create a standalone team.

You're mostly accurate and you'd be surprised how many PAFC supporters agree. We're happy with the identity we had to adopt and sacrifices we had to adopt to move into the AFL, that doesn't change our desire to represent our heritage. However you do have one error. We aren't "Port Power" we ditched that nickname back in 2001. We are Power, or Port Adelaide Power. Not Port Power. It's like saying North Kangaroos, Saint Saints, Greater Giants, West Eagles, Gold Suns.

Smugness eliminated.

Did any Port supporters actually turn up on Saturday wearing black and white stripes? It would have been embarrassing for them if they did…..

Unless they had identifying tattoos, or parroting Kane Cornes’ opinions as fact, I would have assumed they were Collingwood supporters like everyone else.

That would be a no then? No prison bar sightings? What a shame

 

[Pie eyed]

He's a Pies' supporter just like you. He can say whatever he likes.

I reckon they've been shut up n any case.

 

[JOELY]

A club that has taken their eye completely off the ball.

I saw one woman aged about 40 with the prison bar jumper on and she was with her husband/partner who had a Collingwood jumper on.

I assume he got to be on the bottom watching the replay in bed later.
